This project has reached its target. You may still donate to this project if you wish.
We believe that everyone has an idea! And that we are the key to communicating those dreams through visual, creative design and service.
Hawke's Bay
WHAT WE DO:
We are the provider of interior design solutions, layouts and styling. Allowing clients to express their ideas and personality through customised design.
This is achieved by Calita’s extended research, colour expertise, and her comprehensive interactive survey. Along side Reuben’s CAD software knowledge, and experience from working at a custom kitchen design company.
Our clients receive plans, elevations, item lists and high quality renders. The information required to implement their design, and the ability to have the design costed and quoted.
ABOUT US:
We have been married for three years and are currently studying Visual Art & Design, at EIT, together.
Reuben enjoys problem solving, functional design and customer service. He has good attention-to-detail, and is able to critically evaluate an idea.
Calita’s passion lies in colour, nature and pushing the boundaries. She prides herself in being able to source information, and organise it accordingly.
She brings emotion into design, through colour and textile, and has great people skills and empathy for helping people to achieve their dreams.
As a couple and business, we want to reduce our impact on the environment. By utilising technology, proven process and preventing possible design mishaps, we believe we are providing a service that aims to be sustainable.
OUR STORY:
In June of this year our daughter Ember-Ruby was born premature. We were delighted to meet her, but sadly she was only with us for a short time. She died the day she was born.
Meeting little-Ember sparked our determination to carry on her memory.
The help and support we received during such a significant time has also made us rethink what is important.
We now focus our skills and education into helping others, and want to make this Ember Design’s mission.
WHAT THE FUNDS ARE FOR:
We have the combined knowledge, motivation and drive to make this business a success. But, as second year Visual Art & Design students, we need your help with funding

We are Reuben and Calita, the founders of Ember Design. And the proud parents of our daughter, and inspiration for this project, Ember-Ruby.
Thanks so much! 6 December 2014
Today, a month after launching, our crowdfunding project came to a successful close.
With all your support Ember Design raised over $10k, which will make a huge difference.
The main thing though is that we are blessed to know that you guys believe in what we are doing, and have opened up and shared your own stories.
Next year we will keep you all updated with how Ember Design is progressing, and what we are working on, as we study and work.
For starters we want to add all our founding supporters to the website. We are gathering all the names from our Spark My Potential page, but if you would like to add to that, email emberdesignstudio@hotmail.com with your requests.
God bless you all, and have a well deserved Christmas and a safe New Year!
Lots of love
Reuben & Calita Munro
